Just added a diamond sand goby to my collection. He’s been busy with sifting through the sand and stirring things up. I have a 29g tank and I’ve been doing water changes every two weeks. With goby stirring things up should I was thinking every week. Thoughts?

Check your parameters, and do water changes as necessary. With him stirring up an undisturbed sand bed, he's going to kick stuff up into the water column and cause your levels to rise.

I would do weekly water changes on a 29 anyways. I switched from every-other-weekly to weekly water changes this past summer and it did wonders for my tank. I do 5 gallons a week on my 20.

Also make sure you have a good lid on your tank, I have lost two to jumping. The egg creat was not good enough.
